Message: Hi all. I've officially accepted the fact that I'm no longer a college student (it's been over a year), so I figured it was time to post something up here. I had a rather tumultuous first year out, filled with fabulous magazine and PR internships, and unfortunately no job offers. Finally, I came across a PR staffing agency in the DC Metro area called PRofessional Solutions (I recommend it to any corporate Comm majors looking for jobs), which places people who have experience with PR in PR-related postions. They placed me in the PR and Publications department for a nonprofit called Volunteers of America. For you more Web-oriented SMADdies, the company is currently looking for a "Web" person, who knows a lot about design, "freshening up" a Web site's image, and innovative approaches to Web communications, with only basic IT knowledge required.

Hello all you SMAD people. It's almost graduation, and I know many of you are probably looking for jobs. There is a job opening at my company for a fulltime videographer/editor.

Over the past year I have worked for companies such as Nike, HGTV, NPR, The World Bank, The State Department, and Entertainment Tonight. I have been on a long trip to Afghanistan, and it was a life-changing experience. I have done audio for interviews with Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Gabrielle Union, and many others. It's a pretty exciting job, and I'm glad that I might soon be having someone else in the shop! My boss wants to train someone to shoot on DVCAM, BetaCam, and HDV. On days when we don't have shoots, you might be editing on FCP or making DVDs on DVD Studio Pro. Some days are long, I work atleast one weekend a month, but it's worth it. You'll get benefits too, which isn't always easy to get in this field.

Hello all. Quick story, then down to businiess. After graduating last May I moved to Denver and started looking for a job there. After no success (and working nights at the Comedy Club), about 2 months ago I saw a post from Dan Drinkard on the Alumni Message Board about an opening on the Army.mil web team. I moved back to the DC area a little over a month ago, interviewed for the position and am currently working as a web developer/videographer for www.army.mil in Crystal City. There are a bunch of SMAD people on the team here, and everyone is really great to work with. Currently we are looking for someone to fill another position on the team. They would need web developing skills, and their primary task would be to transcribe our videos. If you are interested, or if you just feel like saying what's up, shoot me an e-mail.

The Mountain Statesman - Buckhannon, West Virginia

A Message Posted by a SMAD Alumnus

February 13, 2006
Amanda Hayes
Graduated: 2004
Buckhannon, WV 26201
hayesal@alumni.jmu.edu
Employer: News Media Corp.
Hi everyone, I posted not long after I was hired in August 2004 as a news reporter here in Buckhannon, W.Va. After testing the job market in North Carolina last summer, I decided to stay in West Virginia a while longer. Little did I know what was to come... 2006 has been overwhelming so far. My town was the town where the 13 miners were trapped and 12 died. I was here for the whole ordeal as the national media swarmed in and the tragedy unfolded and I'm still here long after CNN and the other news outlets have moved on to the next story. It was the hardest thing I have ever been through as a journalist and possibly in my life, but I learned a lot and I can definitely say that I am ready to cover anything now (although I am happy to go back to covering education and city government). I'm also here for another reason:If anyone is looking to start in smalltown journalism (the pay is not great but you learn a lot), our "sister" paper, The Mountain Statesman is desperately in need of a managing editor and a reporter. As a reporter you will typeset, paginate (Pagemaker), write, take photos, etc...you basically get to do everything since it's a small paper. The editorial staff consists of the reporter and managing editor so as managing editor, you will also do those things along with assigning stories and other duties. Some experience is preferred but they will train if needed. The paper publishes 3x a week. Grafton is about 45 minutes from here and about 30 from Morgantown (Go WVU!) and a couple other big cities-Clarksburg and Fairmont. Please pass the word to anyone you think may be interested. They have no editorial staff at the moment. In fact, I've been asked to drive up there and help a couple days this week. Resumes can be e-mailed to her at jmeemail@aol.com. and if you have any general questions, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
